Hi Rex & Vicki,
D-Star in the USA does not have an APRS frequency. It DOES HAVE something
called DPRS which is associated with D-Star Repeaters but, since D-Star Radios
also work in regular FM Mode, there is nothing to stop you from using APRS as
you do now.
When you are in Range of a D-Star Repeater, and you have your D-Star radio set
up to communicate with THAT repeater, then your position will be seen on
APRS.FI if you tell your radio to send it.
Hope this helps.
